RIYADH: Elsewedy Electric, an Egyptian multinational electrical company, has recently announced its Saudi unit is playing a key role in the Kingdom’s $500 billion futuristic project NEOM with the supply of its cables for the development on the Red Sea coast.
On its website, Elsewedy Electric KSA said it is providing low- and medium-voltage cables for the two 28 km tunnels being built as part of The Line, the world’s first zero-gravity vertical city, which is also planned to accommodate 9 million people.
“Set in the NEOM mega city, this 170-km belt will become a massive green space, offering unique hyper-connected communities that are free from cars and roads, which contributes to the reduction of carbon emissions,” Elsewedy said in a statement posted on its website.
The company underscored that NEOM is committed to providing 100 percent renewable energy, with solar, wind, and hydrogen-based power generation, ensuring that the city will be completely carbon neutral, with zero emissions.
